Waimairi Chinese Takeaway & Fish & Chips is a takeaway at 275 Greers Road, Bryndwr, Christchurch, rated 4.2 from 152 Google reviews. It combines Chinese dishes with classic fish and chips, and customers mention the combination fried rice and deep-fried pork wontons most often, though reviews of the fish and chips are mixed.
A good fish and chip shop depends on fresh fish, clean oil that is changed often, and batter that comes out crisp rather than soggy. When a shop also does Chinese food, it is worth ordering whichever side it is busiest at, since a steady turnover usually means fresher food. Eat fish and chips soon after they leave the fryer, because steam in a closed parcel softens the batter quickly. Phoning ahead at tea time helps avoid a long wait, and checking your order before you leave is a good habit at any takeaway.
For a quick local meal in Bryndwr, whether rice and wontons or fish and chips, Waimairi on Greers Road is a handy stop.
